The digital wall calendar category is gaining momentum, according to a recent WIRED review. The writer, who initially disliked an early model, notes that options and popularity have increased significantly. These devices connect to Google, Apple, or Microsoft calendars and display schedules on a wall-mounted or tabletop screen.
Beyond calendars, the products now function as family management tools. They include chore charts, meal planning, and even digital photo frames. The review highlights models like the Skylight Calendar 2, which can prompt grocery list additions based on planned meals, and the Greenlight Family Hub, aimed at families with teens.
Pricing varies widely, from $140 for a kids-focused Skylight Buddy to $630 for the large Skylight Calendar Max. Some features require subscription plans, such as Skylight's Plus tier for photo screensavers. The review suggests the devices are replacing smart displays in some homes, as users appreciate seeing their schedule without voice assistants.
